Movies
films that are elevated or sophisticated in their themes, style, and execution, often blurring the lines between traditional genre conventions and arthouse or experimental cinema. These movies are often considered to be a combination of commercial appeal and artistic merit, combining elements of popular genres such as crime, science fiction, or horror, with more serious and thought-provoking themes, innovative cinematography, and a focus on character development. High art genre movies are often more character-driven and less reliant on conventional plot structures, and they challenge the audience's expectations while providing a unique and engaging viewing experience.

Surrealism in cinema refers to the use of dreamlike and irrational elements in films to create a unique visual style that challenges conventional notions of reality. It originated from the artistic movement of surrealism in the 1920s and 30s, which sought to tap into the subconscious mind through the use of irrational imagery and symbolism. In film, surrealism often employs techniques such as discontinuous editing, unexpected imagery, and the use of special effects to create a dream-like atmosphere and to challenge the viewer's perception of reality. The aim of surrealist films is to provoke an emotional and intellectual response from the audience, and to blur the boundaries between the conscious and the unconscious mind.
From the book by Jennifer Eiss. The list is arranged by chapter. Each chapter starts with a top 10 (in alphabetical order), followed by the "best of the rest" (in alphabetical order).

Films and series that have a gothic aesthetic or themes.
Feature films directed by David Lynch.
Additionally, the one-minute short film "Premonitions Following an Evil Deed" from "Lumière and Company" (1995) has been included in this list due to its esteemed status as essential viewing for aficionados of Lynch's work. Furthermore, I've taken the liberty of adding "The Short Films of David Lynch" (2002) DVD collection for those who yearn to delve deeper into his repertoire, although these primarily encompass his student, comissioned work and experimental web shorts.
David Lynch is also well-known for his iconic television series, "Twin Peaks."
Given the infrequent commercial success of the distinctive films Lynch crafts and the idiosyncrasies of box office dynamics, Lynch has openly declared his decision not to pursue any future theatrical feature films.
